The one soldier choking the Japanese soldier to death with his bare hands, or the woman who was forced to carry the baby while she had explosives tied around her waist.
I was not aware the Japanese used civilians as human bombs, but I of course do not know everything.
Yes indeed. Not sure the scene was really necessary in the movie, but I'll take it.
I've always found it very entertaining and, minus the uploading of Dave or whatever at the end, reasonably realistic.
I mean, it has to be watched in context. The special effects at the time were state of the art. Some of the shots of Discovery still look amazing. I miss when movies were less about special effects and more about mood and plot. I would love to see more movies like this made today and fewer CGI monstrosities with one crazy action sequence after another.
One of the more enjoyable shows I have binged in the past several years. I was glad to have seen it.
The ad agency guy and the biker drop off. That was a weird tangent, and I guess the writers thought so too as it seemed to have vanished. Ad agency guy shows back up, but he is a mere shadow of his former self (much like Sauron in LOTR)
That was a strange plot twist. Having watched the rest of the show, it didn't bother me too much in the end.
Definitely not underage, and they were never together. Loudermilk was supposed to be an annoying prick, but I think his character was softening as the show went on. Either that, or I adjusted to his character and was starting to relate.
Well obviously, it's because they've gone to plaid.
I kind of feel the acting is ick in most Stephen King productions. It flowed like his remake of The Shining (shouldn't be remade).
Well, I got through half of season 5 and skipped to the last episode. Now I can move on. lol
I felt that scene was all over the place. At first I thought Don saw the human in Norman and wanted to play house and for a moment to pretend he was not in the war. But then Don encourages Norman to have sex with Emma (surprised Norman went through with it considering all of his other misgivings). I felt the others came in and took offense to this because Don was never human in front of them, and he was sharing something with Norman implying the other members of the crew lacked something Norman had (humanity).
In the end, Don was just turning Norman into another soulless creature, one that did not distinguish between killing someone in a gun battle, murdering a prisoner, or assaulting a woman. The real question for me is did Norman leave that all in Fury at the end of the movie, or did it become part of him.
I enjoyed the period production. I don't think I had yet to see any depiction on post-WW2 Japan.
It was educational at least. Makes DuPont out to be pretty naughty.
It was a quality movie.
I'd watch it again, but every time the one guy fell on his leg I winced.

It's left up to interpretation, but since they were feeding her and not necessarily the other prisoners, I assume she might have been kept for eventual breeding stock. She may have eventually wound up like the other women. Whether she was previously assaulted is also left ambiguous, but I lean towards no, not yet anyhow.
I agree with this. It's not this movie's job to show all sides and all perspectives. It showed what the boy saw and went through, and it seemed a reasonable reflection of reality to me.
Perhaps what bothers me the most about this scene is how bad I feel for the children, yet their father was responsible for the torture and murder of perhaps millions of other children. Since the other children are nameless and faceless, there is no story associated with them and the connection is harder to make.
Why is the death of these innocents so powerful relative to all of the other innocent deaths caused by Nazi Germany?
We don't have a cow. We have a bull...
